[Chorus]
I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again
Ah yeah, haha
Ah listen
[Verse 1]
It's funny you know
When you sit down and think about what you had
About the friends you used to know
What happened? Where did they all go?
Can you remember happy hours
Spent drinkin' and thinkin'?
We thought we could change the world
And we never, never, never, never, never
Never thought we could get much older then
We were the ones who loved to love
The right to love
We'd bring it on home with the right song
Played at the right time
What happened to the girl that you loved once and left?
Young man, did you break her heart?
Did she live, and did she marry?
Did she ever think on your face again?
Ah, now hold on a minute
[Chorus]
I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again
Hoo, hoo
Ah yeah
[Verse 2]
I think what you say is all so right
But I find it hard to jog my memories
Don't worry Lou, you may never get another chance, yeah
Yes, I think what you say is all so right
But I find it hard to move my memories
Say it again with a lot more feelin', yeah yeah
And I think what you say is all so right
But I find it hard to find my memories
Don't sing so serious, you make me feel so sad, yeah
But if I was true to myself
I would probably find it was a tear in my eye
That stopped me from believing you
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry
Oh, whoa
Ah, get on up there
[Verse 3]
You know my tongue gets tired
When I think back on all of the things we do
But I wonder if I'll remember these few precious things
As years pass me by
Ah, when young bodies that grown older
And minds become dimmer
I'll point the finger back in time
I said I wouldn't change a thing if I could
If I could, if I could live it all again, yeah
Ooh
La da da, la da da, la da da
La da da da da da
I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again
Ah yeah, haha
Ah listen
[Verse 1]
It's funny you know
When you sit down and think about what you had
About the friends you used to know
What happened? Where did they all go?

And we never, never, never, never, never
Never thought we could get much older then
